Emergency hospitalization for sudden brain disease, sudden changes in condition during solvent treatment
At noon on July 28, 2023, the 77-year-old was sent to the emergency department of the central hospital in Texas by his family for symptoms of sudden unfavorable speech, stiffness of the limbs and other symptoms.After the preliminary diagnosis of acute stroke, the patient was transferred to the brain disease department and received by the chief physician Sun.
According to the family's reflection, the chief physician prepared a venous solution for the infusion of urethra for the patient. However, the infusion was only about thirty minutes, when a certain condition suddenly worsened, instantly losing consciousness, falling into a deep coma. In the face of an emergency and serious situation, the medical care at the site did not interrupt the treatment, and still completed all the infusion of the solution. Until the end of the infusion, the elderly person slowed up, but the injury was irreversible: the ability to speak completely lost, the right limb paralyzed, life could not take care of itself.
Imaging inspection record not reviewed, reverse treatment missed gold window
The following day the condition worsened, the hospital carried out a nuclear magnetic resonance examination for patients, the results suggested the possibility of cerebral hemorrhage.Diagnostic specifications require, at this time should be further confirmed by CT review, to exclude the risk of cerebral bleeding.But the hospital did not do CT review, continue to use anticoagulant therapy.
In the event that the risk of cerebral bleeding is not excluded, continuous bleeding is a clinical contraception operation, which is very likely to aggravate bleeding and aggravate brain tissue damage. Such treatment lasts for ten days, and patients with paralysis and speech disorders continue to aggravate. The hospital informed the family to leave the hospital, the family refused and passed the 12344 hotline complaint, the hospital agreed to continue treatment.
On August 29, 2023, patients were transferred to the rehabilitation center for a month of rehabilitation treatment, but the results were poor. At this time, the two-month golden window period for the treatment of stroke had been missed, and the brain injury and limb disability of the elderly became irreversible consequences.
The family members also found that the chief physician signed only the surname in the medical record and informed consent, did not sign the full name, and did not comply with the medical record writing management standards.
Judicial identification locked multiple errors, clarified treatment violations and damage causes
In August 2025, the family to the Texas Economic and Technological Development District people's court to file a dispute on medical damage liability, and apply for judicial examination.The certification of the judicial medical examination center issued by the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital determined that there are several clinical errors in the hospital: the clotting treatment time window has been close to the critical limit, the hospital did not pay full attention to high-risk complications such as bleeding; the patient's condition worsened, the image indicated brain bleeding may be, the hospital's diagnosis mistake, improper treatment, continued living blood treatment aggravated the condition; before the use of anticoagulant drugs, the CT, MR, diagnostic treatment process is missing; the entire course of the disease observation of negligence, the risk is insufficient.
The conclusion of the assessment is clear: the hospital's diagnosis and treatment errors have a direct causal relationship with the patient's disability consequences, which is the secondary cause of damage.Invalidity assessment shows that the patient's severe intelligence reduction constitutes a third-degree injury, and the right limb paralysis constitutes a fourth-degree injury, which requires the majority of life-long care dependency.
Two-level court trial, second-instance increase in liability ratio
The court of first instance, combining the basic history of patients' old age and high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., referring to the conclusion of the judicial assessment, determined that the hospital bears 30% of the fault responsibility, and damages for the various losses of more than 240,000 yuan.
On July 27, 2026, the second-instance trial of the middle-level people's court in Texas City ended.The second-instance court found that the hospital did not review in time after the image inspection indicated abnormalities, and continued to live blood treatment, the degree of error greater than the first-instance determination, and, if appropriate, the hospital's responsibility for error was increased to 40%.The final trial ruled that in Texas City hospital compensation for patients' medical expenses, disability compensation, care expenses, mental injury allowance and so on totaled 327195.66 yuan.
Even if the judgment came into effect, the hospitals concerned and the doctors in charge did not make any apologies or acknowledge any mistakes to their families. In November 2025, the family's ruling and judicial assessment notices filed a complaint with the Texas Health Commission requesting administrative punishment for the hospitals and medical personnel concerned. The health department responded in writing that the relevant materials were not sufficient to serve as the basis for administrative punishment, and no case was filed. To date, the medical personnel concerned have not been subject to industry punishment and administrative punishment, and the family continues to defend power.
